Biography
Otis Watson was born and raised in Compton, California, and he later moved to Grove Street, where he joined the powerful Ballas gang. Watson occasionally took part in hostile actions against The Families, the Ballas' rivals, and he often walked the streets of Grove Street at night to ensure that no Families gangsters entered the cul-de-sac. However, in the early hours of one summer day in 2013, Watson was stabbed several times on the sidewalk of Grove Street in a gang-related murder. His body was found by paramedics and police, who were unable to resuscitate him; he was pronounced dead at the scene. His death was the first in a series of gangland murders on Grove Street that same week.
